I took my test yesterday, failed for forgetting to cancel my indicator five minutes into the test Realised what I'd done and cancelled it but to late. Kept going through the test got one minor for hesitation overtaking a car doing 55 in a 70 limit.
I'm fine with riding it's just from doing DAS you don't have long to get used to the feeling of speed and that your indicators wont self cancel!
Ah well. I rode back from the test and canceled them every time, it just cost me £109 for that one stupid mistake.
Oh and I wouldn't recommend dropping an XJ600S outside the test centre while pushing it Having a waiting room full of examiners take the piss is not a nice feeling before doing your test and my back's killing me today from quickly picking it back up. |

Lets see if I can help.
There are tests for 3 types of full entitlement on your licence (as opposed to provisional entitlement with a CBT),
Class A
No L plates, allowed to take Pillions and to ride on Motorways. Unrestricted motorcycle choice afterwards.
Requirements: Over 21, Valid CBT Certificate of Completion (DL 196), Valid Motorcycle Theory Certificate. Test taken on a motorcycle of at least 35kW (46.6bhp) - usually a commuter 500.
Class A1
Restricted to 125cc bikes a power output of up to 11kW (14.6 bhp). Allows you to take off L plates, have pillions and ride motorways.
Requirements: Over 17, Valid CBT Certificate of Completion (DL 196), Valid Motorcycle Theory Certificate. Test taken on a machine between 75cc and 125cc.
Class A2
No L plates, allowed to take Pillions and to ride on Motorways however are restricted to sub 33bhp (25kW) bikes with a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW/kg for two years - not including any periods of disqualification. After the two years there is no restriction.
Requirements: Over 17, Valid CBT Certificate of Completion (DL 196), Valid Motorcycle Theory Certificate. Test taken on a machine over 120cc but not larger than 125cc and capable of at least 100kph.
All the test are identical in the the skills you are expected to demonstrate.
The course for a Class A licence is called Direct Access for people on a restricted licence
However if you have a Class A2 licence and can't wait for an unrestricted licence you can take the Class A as soon as you are 21 and it is referred to as Accelerated Access
So AA and DAS are identical except for your starting point, with DAS you start with a provisional and with AA you already have a full motorcycle entitlement, albeit restricted.
The only reason to take the AA when you are 21 is to get rid of the 33bhp restriction on your licence. Personally I don't think it is worth the costs involved.
The power output of an engine is measured in kilowatts (kW) or brake horse power (bhp). A kilowatt is the metric measurement of brake horse power. One brake horse power equals 0.75 kilowatts.
